The US Energy Department is spending $26M to help find a temporary site to store spent nuclear fuel

Federal energy regulators have announced that they are spending $26 million
to find communities willing to accept a temporary federal site to store
spent nuclear fuel while a permanent repository is completed. Thirteen
groups made up of industry, academic, nonprofit, government and community
representatives will each get $2 million to explore the most equitable
approach to picking an interim site to store highly radioactive waste from
nuclear power plants, according to a recent news release from the U.S.
Energy Department. The approach will include a dialogue with residents and
local governments, the department said.
